Living the Bible
How do we separate history from myth? Both atheists and Christians often assume they're worlds apart, but in the early years of Christianity, skeptics and believers shared more common ground than you might imagine. In this podcast, we'll explore the ancient texts, archaeological finds, and scholarly debates that both sides use to argue their case. From examining Roman historians' accounts of Jesus to decoding early Christian writings and the surprising historical parallels, this is your invitation—whether believer or skeptic—to re-examine what you think you know about Christianity’s origins.
